in the endolysosome
2010
paper, by direct patch-clamping of the endolysosomal membrane, we report that PI(3,5)P 2 , an endolysosome-specifi c PIP, binds and activates endolysosome-localized mucolipin transient receptor potential (TRPML) channels with specifi city and potency. Both PI(3,5)P 2 -defi cient cells and cells that lack TRPML1 exhibited enlarged endolysosomes / vacuoles and traffi cking defects in the late endocytic pathway. We fi nd that the enlarged vacuole phenotype observed in PI(3,5)P 2 -defi cient mouse fi broblasts is suppressed by overexpression of TRPML1. Notably, this PI(3,5)P 2 -dependent regulation of TRPML1 is evolutionarily conserved. In budding yeast, hyperosmotic stress induces Ca 2 + release from the vacuole. In this study, we show that this release requires both PI(3,5)P 2 production and a yeast functional TRPML homologue. We propose that TRPMLs regulate membrane traffi cking by transducing information regarding PI(3,5)P 2 levels into changes in juxtaorganellar Ca 2 + , thereby triggering membrane fusion /
